While this sounds like a useful item, wouldn't it be better to have
something (cdev or init?) that allows you do attach a mode to an
application?

MacroMaker allows you to assign a set of keyboard macros on a
per-application basis.  Comment allows you to attach external data to
files and applications.

Would it be possible to write a program that allows you to attach a
screen depth to a given application?  That way, you could set up
MacPaint to use 2 colors, PixelPaint and the Finder to use 256 colors
or 16 grays or whatever you prefer.

Also, wouldn't it be just as easy to use MacroMaker (or one of the
better general macro handlers) to call up the control panel and set
the depth?  I'll give MacroMaker a try when I get home.
